A Message from Religious School Principal, Lois Tompkins 

We continue to learn all about our amazing Jewish culture and language!  Our students are finally settling into a routine and they are learning so much.  I had the privilege of substituting a little bit this month, and I'm delighted at the levels of knowledge in history, Torah, and traditions.  My Hebrew assessments have shown great improvement in most of our children from last year.

Please be sure to ask your child what they have been learning!  I will begin to highlight classes each week in the box below; look for your child(ren)'s classes and share the pictures with your kids - they will be able to tell you all about the classes.

Todah Rabbah to the 6th grade parents who have stepped up to "mentor" students for the upcoming trial event...more on this next week!  I'm proud of the creative ways that my staff is using to engage our Religious School students!

On another note: Sisterhood has planned a fun trip to Trader Joe's during Hebrew School next Wednesday eve for Thanksgiving menu ideas, give-aways, wine-tasting, and more!  Please check the flyer below for details and RSVP information.

B'Shalom,
Lois
Class of the Week: Kitah Bet (grade 2)

Our 2nd grade has been moving along in Hebrew very quickly with teachers Hannah Lee and Adva Kiel.  Many parents have been active on the Online Learning Center as well, which helps to reinforce lessons at home at any time with exercises and games that teach word meanings and reading fluency.  Students also help each other in class; in this picture, Reba G. is leading "V'ahavta" while her classmates follow along!
